Overview
Edit
A capital ship, the tempest was developed by the protoss after the first phase of the Second Great War, in order to maximize the effectiveness of their war machine against their enemies.[2]
Game UnitEdit
The tempest is the new protoss capital ship, replacing the carrier.[3] It has very long-ranged ("siege") weapons, for both anti-air and anti-ground.[4]
It was originally designed to handle masses of air units, but is also an effective ground support unit. The tempest launches an orb of energy with area-of-effect damage at airborne targets, and fires a beam of energy at ground targets.[3] However, the anti-air splash was removed, as it was overlapping with the phoenix.[4]
The tempest's unit profile may depict a female protoss pilot.[5]
DevelopmentEdit
- Main article: Tempest/Development
In its current form, the tempest was designed to exemplify the sleek, organic shapes of the protoss.[5]
NotesEdit
The StarCraft I carrier page at the StarCraft Compendium features a carrier named the Tempest.[6] Hold your mouse cursor over the portrait to see the name of the carrier.
